Lamborghini said on Wednesday that it has received more than a year's worth of orders for the Aventador, which stickers for $379,700, including the gas-guzzler tax, in the United States. It arrives in the second half of this year.

As if there were any doubt, the successor to the Murciélago is in high demand. “Interest in the Aventador has been unprecedented,” Lambo chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement.

The Aventador was named AutoWeek's Best in Show at the Geneva motor show.

The latest in a long line of breathtaking V12 demons from Sant'Agata, the supercar packs 700 hp and can hit 62 mph in 2.9 seconds. It employs all-wheel drive and a lightweight carbon-fiber chassis wrapped in a striking fresh style that evolves the Lambo design lineage.

It's been a busy week for supercars. The eye-popping Porsche 918 Spyder was priced at $845,000 on Monday, and with an optional 911-unit-limit Turbo S model that can be purchased along with the Spyder, the cars could burn a more than $1 million hole in the wallet of enthusiasts.

The other star from Geneva, the Ferrari FF--a four-seat, all-wheel-drive supercar that follows the 612 Scaglietti--is also sold out for a year's worth of production.

That's a lot of supercar cars in high demand. Perhaps that's why they're called collectibles.
